  • Geek Squad in Training

    Funded May 8, 2021

    Your generous donation has provided the spark that has enabled the creation of the first ever tech club at our school this past semester. As we continue the effort to replace aging equipment at our site, this is the first step towards allowing students to have agency in learning, building and maintaining their own technology for the community. Students in the tech club have built a diverse community of learning, as the members range in various skill levels and interests, represent major racial and ethnic groups that attend the school, and there are members of all four high school classes (from 9th to 12th grades). Students have learned and taught each other the basics of how a computer is built of different parts that function together to make the system work, just like how their community works together to get things done.

    At the moment, the completed desktop build will be utilized by the school's student leadership for video editing and publishing the regular school news productions and announcements. It will also be used for other tasks that require higher computing power such as hardware testing or running software that cannot be processed by chromebooks and/or aging desktops.

    Since the beginning of the pandemic and remote learning, students have increasingly grown interest in how technology works, and being able to start a community organization that allows students to deconstruct, reconstruct, and build new equipment have been very exciting to my students. Multiple current members of the club attended because of their friends who were interested, and have since stayed to learn more because their own interests have grown. Resources such as your donation have provided the much-needed hardware for the students to go from theory to hands-on engagement. Not only will this inspire some to pursue careers in technology (as some seniors have applied to college for computer science majors), but also educate the next generation about cost-effectiveness (thinking about what do we really need and what is a fair price) and e-waste (repairing versus buying new).”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Juang

With your donation to this project, you will help our school move forward in two simultaneously on-going projects as we prepare for return to campus in-person learning. The first is the effort to upgrade the 10+ year-old fleet of desktop computer setups that students use for various computing and multimedia workloads. Slow is the most common complaint on these machines. The second is to harness the interest of some students in forming a geek squad on our campus to support various tech needs, starting with taking apart and building/re-building desktops, which is the entry point to learn about how the hardware works before going into software. In this project, students will be learning about the various parts of a computer and how they work together to produce the working screen that they see on the monitor. They will learn about the CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, drives, power supply, etc. and then moving to software such as machine health monitoring and drivers for printers. As the tech lead for the school, I am hoping to train up students so I can deploy them to troubleshoot when various problems with tech occur on campus. I am also hoping that the geek squad will be able to perform repairs so that our school does not have to waste money buying new computers to replace laptops that can be easily fixed. This particular item will be used for the build that will run Matlab, simulations, video-editing and creative content making, and basic word processing.
